There could not be a more even-handed judge hearing the Flynn case.  Judge Emmett Sullivan has a bi-partisan rise to the seat he now holds.

He was appointed to the bench of the Superior Court of the District of Columbia in 1984 by President Ronald Reagan, to the District of Columbia Court of Appeals as an Associate Judge in 1992 by President George H. W. Bush and to the federal bench in 1994 by President Bill Clinton.

Reagan, Daddy Bush, and Clinton – both sides but leaning Republican.

He made it very clear that he was not going to accept the government’s plea recommendation during the first plea hearing where they wanted him to go free, because from what he saw Flynn was guilty of treason.

Now he has asked for amicus briefs allowing former Justice Department prosecutors (and others) to argue against dropping the Flynn case.

Maybe, just maybe, this could lead to a hearing where evidence could be rehashed.

The Rule of Law is at stake here and I’ll be damned if some two-bit butt-kisser writ-twit like Barr is going to roll over it without a fight.

Today, I am proud to be an America and proud of Judge Emmett Sullivan.
